What Causes Flushing On Face And Feeling Hot?
My ten year old daughter s face is flushing and she feels hot. This happens all of a sudden and then slowly goes away. She is in the maybe 3rd to 4th stage of puberty, no period as of yet, but starting to get pubic hair and under her arms slightly. I don t remember that far back, are hot flashes normal at this time for her?

Hi
Welcome to the HCM
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. The symptoms can occur due to pubertal changes that she is undergoing. But, I would recommend you to evaluate her for hyperthyroidism as well. Hyperthyroidism may give similar kind of symptoms. So, you may get her thyroid profile tested.
You may post her reports for my review.
Hopefully this will help you.
Take care
